Hi, 
I'm trying to download your OpenOffice for Windows7 to be able to edit and use the .doc files that I've made in Microsoft Word 2000 & 2007, but when I try I keep getting "styles failing to load" and so no download. Also will your software do what I"m trying to get done? 
Hope your site is fixed soon and your software does what I need, 
Tom Szaller

Yes, OpenOffice will allow you to edit and use your .doc and .docx documents. However it will not allow you to save again in .docx (aka Word 2007)
You can save in .doc (aka Word 2000) but unless you need to keep it in that format to send to someone (who is stuck on that format), it is better to save them in ODT (Open Document) for future compatibility with any word processor.

Your download problem seems to be caused by your Browser (not a Server issue)
Please try this direct link to the Apache server
http://archive.apache.org/dist/openoffice/4.1.6/binaries/en-US/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.6_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe

Best,
Pedro

Hi Tom,

the grey "Problem Downloading" option you will see, on thr 
SourceForge.net site after pressing the "Download full instalation" or 
the "Download language pack" button on the Apache OpenOffice site.

Have a nice day
Jürgen

I've downloaded a second ago [1] and haven't seen a problem. So, in 
general it's working. 

When you have problems with specific mirror servers then just change 
them. On the SourceForge webpage there is a grey "Problems Downloading?" 
button. Just click on it and choose a different mirror from the popup 
dialog.
